Project text:

Entitled Einstein in Japan – A Travelogue, the exhibition in Tokyo was the first to be concerned with an extremely important period in the life of Albert Einstein: his journey to Japan in 1922. The presentation concentrated on Einstein’s encounter with a country that he experienced intensely but was only able to visit for a few weeks, on one single occasion. Einstein’s diary entries provided a leading thread for the dramaturgy of the exhibition: first of all, Einstein’s life and work were represented using a calendar. In the main part of the exhibition, Einstein’s experiences in Japan and the public’s reaction to them were then depicted – in a walk-in, three-dimensional diary. Ten thematic cabinets incorporated into the chronology of the diary showed the decisive events of the journey as dramatic visual-spatial productions – stages for Einstein, his theories and his contemporaries. The stages of the journey were linked by means of a fictive radio series – this radio drama helped visitors to navigate their way through the exhibition. All printed media and the catalogue appeared in Japanese.
